About
lands in love

Lands in love- is a place of connection to nature, to a land that is protected, its the love to animals (domestic mostly -rescued dogs and cats and some wild life). I only stayed one night but wish I had time to stay bit longer and just absorb the surrounding, the people who call this place home and the many pets in need of love and attention. The beautiful art on the walls, in the rooms, at the lobby and anyplace you look(done by a local super gifted artist and one of the founders of the place). You can see and feel the love given to the space and atmosphere. It is labor of hopes, dreams, connection to land and spirit of the forest. I am an animal lovera- so obviously I wanted to also visit the rescue/shelter space, dedicated to the many homeless street dogs and cats of Costa Rica-who are brought or found, abandoned or just left at the doors in boxes (or worse)- which is the reason behind lands in love originally. My son (13y)and I had a day full packed with adrenaline driven activities from an ATV to Zip lining along the beautiful canopy of local fauna and especially seeing the ceiba trees- majestic- Avatar like trees who feed and nourish a whole ecosystem on their wide branches. I wish I had more time to thank the wonderful chef and her assistants for nourishing us with vegan delicious and creative food. I wish I could help- aside from donating and spreading the word- to these hard working group of people who run a rescue facility - trying to give a better life to the stray dogs and cats of their area. While the rooms were not the highlight of my visit(there are outdated and would need some work and updating done- which require more funding) - it does not matter when there is so much done for nature and life in general. Like someone else already mentioned - there is so much that does not meet the eye- but once you step at Lands in Love- you fall in love indeed and I know - I will be back for a longer stay..

One of the best vegetarian meals I’ve ever had 🙏🏼

A group of rare people who created a jam for nature and food lovers. We used them to plan our whole trip. Highly recommended!!

This place is more than meets the eye. It was founded and is managed by a fascinating group of people united by the love and devotion to animals and a simple life. Stay there long enough and you will meet them, along with over a thousand animals they do everything in their power to provide the best life for. I stayed there for 3 nights with my kids (aged 4 and 10) and we hope to be back for a much longer stay next time. We all delighted in the family of armadillos living near our room and all the other plentiful wildlife. The resort is stunning. The rooms rustic and old fashioned but comfy. The vegan food is absolutely delicious. There are many nearby activities like rafting, ziplines, hot springs and more, that can be booked through the hotel, and Arenal/La Fortuna is just a day trip away. Highly recommended for families and any animal and nature lovers.

El lugar es sumamente lindo pero esta un poco descuidado... Pedimos 2 veces cobijas en la habitación, porque olían como húmedas las que teníamos y las 2 veces nos llevaron cobijas con el mismo problema... El Lobby tenía por áreas un olor a caca de gato, se siente sucio el lugar... No tiene un aroma agradable... Lastima porque yo había visitado ese lugar antes de pandemia y me pareció muy agradable... y ahora no... Esta muy descuidado.. La comida en aquella ocasión me había encantado pero ahora estaba como recalentado, con un sabor a refri... ☹️💔 El Canopy y los Tours muy buenos, pero el lugar, las habitaciones y la comida no.. Y nos montaron en un automóvil en super mal estado... Los asientos llenos de agua, un olor a sudor fatal... Sin duda no volvería a ir.... Mucha tristeza xq es un lugar maravilloso, x el clima, el bosque, los guías.. 😕
